Local injection of triamcinolone acetonide suspension can help promote healing.

2. Glandular cheilitis

Local injection of prednisolone suspension or application of radioactive isotope 32P. After the infection is controlled, chloramphenicol glycerol, etc. can be used locally. For patients with suspected lip swelling that may be cancerous, a biopsy should be performed as soon as possible to confirm the diagnosis.

3. Benign lymphoproliferative cheilitis
